I envy how little kids eat! It blows my mind when I’m babysitting and see this kids turn down yummy food, or eat only half of their ice cream sundae. If only we all ate like that!

It sounds so ironic, but I really have to struggle to eat naturally. I just love food so much that I could basically eat whenever even if I’m not hungry. I’ve definitely been better about it lately, saying to myself eat a little then wait five minutes and see if you still want more. A fair amount of the time, I realize that I don’t actually want anymore food. But sometimes I do go back for that second cookie!

I know what you mean about watching toddlers eat! They just don’t care..they use their food as straight fuel for running around like crazy. Ignorance truly is bliss..sometimes I wish I could go back to not knowing so much about food!

I think I sometimes eat like a toddler, but definitely am like your husband. If I eat a large (or late) meal, I’m typically not hungry the next day. I may not eat breakfast the next day if I’m not hungry – I know I have plenty of calories/energy to spare from the night before.

That Katie is a pretty smart girl, huh! I only hope to instill those healthy, intuitive eating habits in MY child once he becomes a toddler!

My biggest challenge is holding myself to my same healthy standards when NOBODY IS LOOKING! It’s so easy to cave in when you think no one will know…

Oh, and eating too fast. It’s a horrible habit!

Oh I’m loving all these recent posts of yours, girl! Some really great tips on how to develop a healthy relationship with ourselves and with food.

I still struggle with natural eating quite a bit… suffering from an ED for so long pretty much made me forget what it’s like to be “normal” with food, and things like intuitive or natural eating seem so far removed from the rigid planning and scheduling that I adhered to for so long. My biggest challenge right now is allowing myself to have treats that aren’t nutritionally beneficial in any way; ones who’s sole purpose is pleasure. I still allow myself to have them on occasion, but not without some struggle and guilt afterwards. I could definitely learn a few things from kids who don’t feel bad grabbing a cookie whenever they want one

My biggest obstacles when it comes to intuitive eating would have to be me over thinking it. I’ll either eat way too much or not eat enough. It’s an annoying cycle but one that I’m determined to break. It would be so nice to just get that childhood relationship with food back. People who have that, like your husband, are so freaking lucky!
